Vanity and egotism are often the cause of the failure of the well-meaning woman. She wants an outlet for her energies, but in- stead of doing something really useful, she takes up what she calls "public work." She goes hither and thither, works herself up into a state of artificial excitement, makes speeches in which she frequently stultifies herself, and does the cause she advocates tnore harm than good. the strong man is he whose sympathy goes otit to all who are in trouble and distress. His heart, loving and sincere, cheers the drooping epirit, aud kindles afresh hew hopes and jOjs.
"THE MESSIAH."
"THE MESSIAH." At Holywell Assembly Hall, on Wednesday night, Handel's oratorio The Messiah" was performed. There was a large audience present in the reserved seats, over two hundred tickets having been taken the other parts of the hall could have accom- modated more. The artistes were-Soprano, Miss Beatrice Vernon; contralto, Mts Gwilym Morris; tenor, Mr Egerton Snelson; bass, Mr Chas. James; chorus, the Members of the Bryncelyn Evening Music Class, under the conductorship of Mr Gwilym Morris. The performance was augmented in effective- ness by an orchestra, under the leadership of Mr C. Lewis Jones, Mus. Bac., and which included ist and 2nd violins, viola, 'cello, basses, flute, clarionette, bassoon, horns, cornet, trombones, pianoforte and organ. Much appreciation was evinced throughout the production of the work. The soprano solos were very sweetly given by Miss Vernon. Rejoice greatly," How beautiful are the feet," and .¡ I know that my Redeemer liveth," as the chief numbers of the part. were delightfully rendered. The contralto solos by Mrs Morris were very effective, particularly the air He was despised," also in 0, thou that tellest" and "He shall feed His flock." Mr Snelson opened very nicely in Comfort ye my people" and the air "Every valley," and his succeeding tenor solos were all well received; the air But thou didst not leave," was very expressive. The bass, to whom tails the heaviest part, was the pick of the evening. Mr James sang with power and clear resonant tone, sustained with excellent effect, that called forth the deserved and hearty applause of the audience. In the airs" But who may abide," The people that walked in darkness," in the first part were capital, but he excelled in Why do the nations" and in "The trumpet shall sound," his vocalisation reached the climax. The Chorus responded well to the calls made npon them, and the appreciation ot the audience was warmly expressed in a very complimentary re-call for the chorus For unto us," and also for the "Hallelujah chorus, the latter being repeated. The Choir opened capitally their part, in the singing of "And the glory of the Lord," and the choruses following were well givpn, An incident occurred ot a disconcerting nature just before the close of Part I. When the soprano solo, Rejoice greatly," was nearly concluded, and the contralto air "He shall feed His flock" was being given, a sustained whistle was heard. It was located and stopped. Then came the soprano solo Come unto Him," and from another part of the hall the wnistle broke in upon orchestral accompaniment and solo, and contined until near the close of the chorus His yoke is easy," when the reducing of the gas pressure successfully suppressed the impromptu and undesirable orchestral r. obligato." Fortunately, the pitch of the whistle gas jet was not in discord. The orchestra was capable, and went far to sustain the vocal and choral numbers. The Overture and Pastoral Symphony and the introduction to the bass air The trumpet shall sound" were striking paits in the orchestral performance. The presentation was throughout very pleasing and gratifying, and distinctly complimentary to all con- cerned. The choir accompanist was Miss Mildred Jones, L.L.C.M.
